Key features
This section provides an overview of the
key features, from a user’s perspective, of
i-on Style alarm systems.
Comprehensive set/unset flexibility
There are many options available to
the installer to configure the setting/
unsetting process to match your specific
requirements.
If at any time, your requirements change,
please contact your installer, who may
be able to adjust the set/unset procedure
without making any physical changes.
Social care and medical alerting
i-on Style systems are
compatible for use in social-care
applications, where there is need
to provide constant care for
elderly or infirm people.
An installer can, for example, set up the
system to monitor an area, and generate
an alert if no activity is detected during
periods of the day.
The system can be set up to respond to an
alert in many different ways. For example,
by sending an email or text message,
switching on a dedicated sounder, or
sending a pre-recorded speech message to
a nominated telephone number.
The control unit’s built-in microphone
and loudspeaker enable the recipient of a
speech message to communicate two-way
with the person seeking assistance.
If required, each person can also have a
unique medical and/or social-care pendant.
Pressing the button on the pendant
activates a medical alarm or social-care
alert. If a pendant is not available, the
same action can be carried out by pressing
the Hot key at the control unit.
Alarm communication
When the system detects an alarm, it starts
the external sounder/strobe units and
operates internal sounders, including the
sounder in the control unit.
If you wish, your installer can also
configure the control unit to communicate
alarms externally to:
• An Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), via
the internet, a fixed-line telephone
network or a mobile network.
• An email address.
• A mobile phone using a text message.
• A specified telephone number using a
pre-recorded speech message.
Note: Communications via a fixed-line
phone network or the internet is provided
as standard. Communications across a
mobile network requires the installer to fit
a GSM module.
Voice memo recording/playback
You can use the voice memo
feature to record a message. Any
user can replay the memo when
unsetting the system, or at any
other time through the User menu.
Proximity tags
Each user can have a unique
proximity tag. When presented to
the control unit, the tag performs
the same action as entering your
access code.
Proximity tags make it easier for you to set
or unset the system, and there is no need
to remember an access code.
Home key
The control unit has a “Home”
key, which the installer can
configure to set or part set the system, or
switch an external device (output) on or
off, without you needing to use an access
code or proximity tag.
